In the current approaches to workflow scheduling, there is no cooperation between the distributed workflow brokers and as a result, the problem of conflicting schedules occur. To o...
— Over the past few years, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems have become very popular for constructing overlay networks of many nodes (peers) that allow users geographically distributed...
We describe a recursive algorithm to quickly compute the N nearest neighbors according to a similarity measure in a metric space. The algorithm exploits an intrinsic property of a...
This paper extends an adaptive discretization method, Spliton-Demand (SoD), to be capable of handling multidimensional continuous search spaces. The proposed extension is called m...
Focused crawlers are considered as a promising way to tackle the scalability problem of topic-oriented or personalized search engines. To design a focused crawler, the choice of s...
